ASACP Names Lion's Den, DatingGold, Kate's Tube 'Featured Sponsors' for September

LOS ANGELES — ASACP has named Lion’s Den, DatingGold, and Kate’s Tube as its featured sponsors for September.

ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning shared that its sponsors rank among the industry’s most respected companies and exemplify corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and simple technical measures can help protect minors and other sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.

“By working together toward the common goal of protecting children and vulnerable groups, industry leaders and other stakeholders can improve the enjoyment and safety of internet surfing for everyone,” Henning said. “ASACP’s diverse family of sponsors reflects the wide range of companies that support our efforts to preserve freedom of choice for adults while protecting the innocence of youth.”

These are the ASACP descriptions of its August featured sponsors:

Lion’s Den

An ASACP Title Sponsor that has supported the association since 2006, Lion’s Den provides the very best in sexual health products, including a range of adult toys, lingerie, massage oils, literature, novelty items, and more, through its retail superstores and online at LionsDen.com.

Lion’s Den advocates for a sex-positive perspective on intimacy and sexual wellbeing and strives to break the stereotypes and stigma surrounding sex by providing comprehensive educational resources to empower everyone to enjoy life to the fullest. Lion’s Den partners with many organizations to amplify awareness regarding sexual health. Through joint efforts, Lion’s Den provides valued resources to support organizations focused on sexual health and education, first amendment rights, child protection, and human trafficking.

“We’re proud that our community involvement includes supporting ASACP’s efforts to protect kids from exploitation and adult material,” said Lion’s Den CEO Michael Moran. “Each of these areas directly relates to the adult industry, and Lion’s Den is proud to support causes that improve their brand’s customer experience and the industry as a whole.”

DatingGold

A valued ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2007, casual dating and webcam affiliate program DatingGold.com demonstrates its commitment to protecting children by including the RTA label on its flagship cam site WebCamClub.com, and dating site, AmateurMatch.com. It also offers a variety of other niche cam and dating sites, as well as co-branded affiliate sites.

Although ASACP holds its sponsors to the highest ethical standards, cam and dating sites are faced with additional membership requirements because they contain user-generated content. Because UGC production occurs outside of commercial channels that confirm a performer’s proof of age, extra steps are needed to ensure that only lawful images and consenting adults are displayed.

Here, DatingGold excels as an example of how proactive measures by content providers can make a difference in keeping children safe on (and from) the internet.

Kate’s Tube

Since 2019, KatesTube.com has been a proud Corporate Sponsor of ASACP.

“We cooperate with this organization to make the internet safer for children and cleaner for adults,” a company spokesperson said. “While we are not content creators, we monitor the site regularly to ensure that we abide by all relevant policies and guidelines, such as 18 USC ‘2257.”

The spokesperson noted that KatesTube.com is committed to improving its visitor safety and overall user experience. As such, it is increasing its investment and resources to make its network of sites even cleaner and more secure.

It is an effort and investment that the operators of Kate’s Tube hope will serve as an excellent example for its peers to follow.

“We encourage other adult tube sites to step up to an industry leadership role by sponsoring ASACP. Let’s all work together to continue making a tangible difference in online child safety,” Henning said.

“ASACP is grateful to Lion’s Den, DatingGold, and Kate’s Tube for their commitment, generosity, and leadership in supporting the association and its mission to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented content,” Henning concluded. “ASACP’s sponsors are united in building a better future for the industry and society’s most vulnerable members. We thank them for this and encourage others to join in this noble crusade.”
